At the ViIIain,s Throat.

One of the most admired performers in q
sensational drama recently produced in Gin
cinnati was big bulldog, that at critical
point in the play came bounding out, and,
seizing the villain by the throat, or there
abouts, hung on like grim death, amid up
roarious applause The other night he
grabbed the man as usual, but something
gave way, and the dog fell near the footlights,
and then he stood there and calmly ate big
piece Of liver, which had been fastened under
the villains throat, and had hitherto been the
Incentive for the dogs exertion.-New York

PTTIsBURG, September 1.-THE consols-
ton race and final heat in the McKeesport
regatta took place this evening over the
McKeesport eonrse. The races were three
miles with a turn. When time was called
fully ten thousand people lined the banks.
The weather was all that .could be de-
sired and not a ripple disturbed
the placid surface of the water.
Promptly at $50 Teemer, Hamm, Ross
and Lee, who being the leaders in yester-
days trial heats, were to take part in the
final race, took their places. All the men
were looking well and their friends were
confident that they would make a good
showing. Betting was slightly in favor OF
Hamm, Lee and Ross were not without
supporters, however. The main struggle
in the race was for the third place.
When the start was made the men got
oil in thne shape amid a tremendous cheer
from the crowd. Teemer at once took the
lead aud had no difficulty in maintaining
his position. He pulled Nh easy stroke and
appeared to be perfectly confident of the
result as far as he was concerned. He
turned the buoy q good length ahead Of
Hamm. The latter, who alone kept near
Teemer, turned and started down the last
mile and a half in 9:25. Ross and
Lee were pulling a close, strong
race about Is seconds behind. Lee was
in advance and the men made the turn in
$40 and 9:45 respectively. The race had
now practically become two races, with
Teemer and Hamm in the first and Lee
and Ross in the second. Thecrowd cheered
Justify as the men came down the home
stretch. Teemer came in ahead Of Hamm
i'll 19:06!, Hamm followed in 1901.
Lee and Ross had been pulling apretty
race, and the spectators watched their pro-
gress with as much interest as it had that
of the champions. Lee finished one length
ahead of Ross.
The race was for a purse of $500, OF
which Teemer gets $500, Hamm $50 and
Lee 500. The consolation race for a purse
of 5000 was won with ease by Bnbear in

information could be given concerning the
exact amount. The insurance is placed
with F. C. Robinson, Of Bridgeport, and
John NJ. Brown, Of this city.
THE ORIGIN.
The origin of the fire is shrouded in mys-
terry. and no one is able TO give any reason
able solution. 1t was ayerred by n oil
the workmen that the natural gas in the
furnace was not burning entirely s~atisfac-
torily, and that it was possible that a leak
and small explosion might be the primary
cause. Another theory attributed the
blaze to a spark from a c., L. < W. engine
which was standing on the siding in the
evening This theory, however, is very
gauzy. The actual cause will probably
remain a mystery.
A great deal OF praise is due to the young
ladies who worked about the concern,
many of them who lived in the vicinity
having cuue 10 the fire and rendered val
liable service in saving ware. One girl was
seen who had scorched her face terribly.

With About S55,OOO of Insurance to Offset
the Damage.
VIEW The Big BLAZE,
From the Sunday Register. !

From the Sunday Register
Last evening our neighboring town Of
Bridgeport was visited by a calamity,
the effects of which will he felt by the citi.
zens oi the community for many a day,
while the immediate loss TO the owners of
the property destroyed Will not fall much
short of an even $1OO, 900. This calamity
was the destruction ny fire of the extensive
plant Of the La Belle Glass Company, not
only the buildings and machinery being
consumed or damaged beyond repair, but
nearly all the stock in the possession of the
company is also a total loss.
The origin Of the ire is as yet something
OF a mystery. Two or three theories were
in circulation last night as TO the of
the blaze, but az yet little is known def
nitely, and it will require an extended in
vestigation, probably, TO ascertain the
facts.
The La Belle Company, and the town in
which its plant is situated, have the earnest
sympathy of all on this side OF the river,
aud it is to be sincerely hoped that both
may recover from the present calamity
now hanging over them.
